Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chu Mo was willing to meet with the other party now because he wanted to give them a chance to negotiate a win-win outcome. However, it seemed he was still a bit too anxious. He should continue to suppress this company, let them suffer for a few more months until they were completely out of ammo and had no way out. There would be no harm in stepping in by then; by that point, Chu Mo felt, the other party would definitely not have the confidence and courage they had now. He sighed softly, his interest in bargaining with the opponent had faded. After a slight wave of his hand, Chu Mo reopened the notebook in front of him, and without raising his head said: "Miss Zhang, after finishing this tea, please take your leave." Chu Mo didn't glance at the other party again. Allowing them to come over was already giving them a chance, but since their attitude was so determined, he could only continue to squeeze their survival space. Only after they completely conceded would Chu Mo consider meeting with them again. On the sofa opposite, a woman in a white suit took a deep breath. Her bright star like eyes stared directly at the young man with an indifferent expression. Despite her intense reluctance, she knew that this seemingly loathsome, pretty-faced man indeed had the power to decide the life or death of her company. The Phoenix Bodyguard Company was somewhat famous in the Magic Capital, and over the years, it had accumulated a fair amount of goodwill and connections. However, since two months ago, ever since the young man in front of her made his claim, all of Phoenix Bodyguard Company's business had been snatched away. Her network, almost overnight, had been completely exhausted. Even an old client explicitly told her that they had received a warning: if they insisted on using Phoenix Bodyguard Company, their own company would suffer a devastating blow. Under such circumstances, the Phoenix Bodyguard Company hadn't received a single contract for two consecutive months. The company's eighty employees had been idle for two months, yet despite no business, the training, various premises, and the cost of food and drink were things they couldn't afford to cut. Therefore, in just two months, the bodyguard company had reached the point where they couldn't pay their employees' salaries. Although the employees were all good sisters and they understood the company's difficulties, emotions alone couldn't fill their bellies. One month or two, they might have been able to persevere, but as time passed, if the company continued to delay wages, morale would certainly fall apart. It was precisely because of this that Zhang Xiaoyan decided to make a personal visit. However, she hadn't expected that before she could even discuss her terms, the other party had already started to send her away. At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyan really wanted to get up and leave. However, when she thought of the company's plight and the expectant looks of the sisters who had fought alongside her, she nearly bit her gums to pieces, managing to suppress the fury in her heart. Her starry eyes locked onto the indifferent face of the young man opposite her. That plain face incited in Zhang Xiaoyan a desire to rush up and beat him. After a moment of silence and forcibly suppressing various impulses, the deeply breathing woman said with a serious face: "Mr. Chu, let's make a bet. Pick anyone from your bodyguards to fight against me. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with the Phoenix Bodyguard Company in the future, and I, Zhang Xiaoyan, will follow your orders without a second word. Similarly, if I win, I only hope that you will never interfere with us again!" Upon hearing this, Chu Mo, who had lost interest in the other party, narrowed his eyes slightly. He raised his head slightly and saw a pair of bright and radiant eyes staring straight at him. Chu Mo's gaze unconsciously shifted to Fang Lihu opposite him. The most capable fighter by his side should be the second in command of the Fang family, Fang Lihu. Chu Mo hadn't yet seen Fang Lihu's true power, but according to what Jiang Tao said, the powerful combat strength of the detective agency's head Jiang Tao was only evenly matched with Fang Lihu. That was the reason why Chu Mo had gone to great lengths to pull Fang Lihu to his side, to have such a dignified second head of the Fang family act as his personal bodyguard. If he sent Fang Lihu out to fight, the tall and thin woman across from him might be skilled, but she probably would not be able to compete. However, Fang Lihu was his ultimate weapon, and his status made it impossible for him to truly spar with a woman. His eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the woman's face full of confidence in front of him, and he couldn't help but let out a light chuckle and shake his head. In Chu Mo's opinion, this woman must have some capability, otherwise, she would not have been able to establish a bodyguard company comprised entirely of women, and even in the fiercely competitive Magic Capital, create a notable industry. However, the innate physical limitations of women also capped her potential. With her slender arms and long legs, not to mention the powerful Fan Gao, even the personal bodyguards at the door who were over two meters tall had arms that were truly thicker than her thighs. Fan Gao, as his ultimate weapon, and considering that he was currently in the honeymoon phase with the Fan family, Chu Mo did not want to use Fan Gao lightly, to have his formidable number two of the Fan family pit against a woman. As he gently shook his head, the woman in front of him narrowed her eyes slightly and then said in all seriousness: "Mr. Chu, bodyguards are inherently tied to fighting and risking their lives. In our field, sparring is more than normal. As long as we don't aim to kill, getting injured is all part of the routine. Mr. Chu, you're not afraid that so many bodyguards can't beat a frail woman like me, are you?" It was a very rough attempt at provocation, not even worthy of being called a provocation. Chu Mo looked up again at the proud woman in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Although I don't like you as a person, what you said makes sense. But don't get me wrong, I just genuinely want to see what the strength of your Phoenix Bodyguard Company is really like. If it's just a bunch of delicate girls throwing fancy but ineffective punches, then there's no need for me to waste so much time and effort on you. Let's have a match! I will send a bodyguard to compete with you. Don't feel wronged about any discrepancy between men and women. If you win... I'll give you a choice. First, I will stop suppressing your company and from then on, we will stay out of each other's way. The second choice, your team joins my detective agency to provide bodyguard services for the people I designate, with wages increased tenfold! This offer should be generous enough, right? I've heard that the majority of your company's employees earn around ten thousand RMB a month, ten times that would be, a hundred thousand a month. A hundred thousand RMB, even in the Magic Capital, which boasts to be the financial center of Hua Country, is not considered low at all, is it? An annual salary of over a million should classify as a high-income earner. For the future of your company, work harder!" As the words of Chu Mo fell, the woman in the suit's face changed colors again and again. At first, she intended to directly choose the first option, to keep the waters of their wells and rivers from interfering with each other, but when she heard the salary of ordinary employees increase tenfold, she instantly lost her composure. A monthly salary of a hundred thousand, in the Magic Capital hailed as the financial center of Hua Country, was a very tempting high salary. Such salary levels are usually only enjoyed by the leadership of big companies, or the top technical personnel with skills to match. Bodyguards like them, who had only martial prowess to offer, could hardly expect this kind of salary. So, the initial outright refusal that almost escaped her lips suddenly got stuck in her throat. At that moment, Zhang Xiaoyan's breathing grew a bit hurried as she looked deeply at the young man in front of her, the esteemed Mr. Chu of Magic Capital! Closing her eyes gently, Zhang Xiaoyan knew that whether it was the first or second choice, the prerequisite was that she had to win the upcoming match. If she lost, then she would have no right to choose at all. Thus, she loosened her limbs lightly, and as her body made a sound resembling the sizzle of frying beans, Zhao Xiaoyan, the chairwoman and founder of Phoenix Bodyguard Company, slowly took off her white suit jacket. Suddenly, beneath the suit, in stark contrast to her delicate facial features, was a harmoniously muscular yet powerful and aesthetic physique, instantly revealed before everyone's eyes. Chu Mo, looking at the woman who revealed her muscular figure after removing her jacket, felt his eyelids twitch slightly, and a hint of seriousness finally flashed in his eyes! "Get Fang Lihu over here!"
